"Nothing in Christianity is original. The pre-Christian God Mithras - called the Son of God and the Light of the World - was born on December 25, died, was buried in a rock tomb, and then resurrected in three days. By the way, December 25 is also the birthday or Osiris, Adonis, and Dionysus. The newborn Krishna was presented with gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Even Christianity's weekly holy day was stolen from the pagans."

Christianity follows Christ, who did not celebrate birthdays.
You are referring to those whom Christ spoke of, saying,
“Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness. --Matthew 7:22
Paul added:
" For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light. It is therefore nothing great if his ministers also keep transforming themselves into ministers of righteousness. But their end shall be according to their works." --2 Corinthians 11:13-15

Its amazing to me to that you would believe a website telling of legend thousands of years ago, and disregard the Bible that has had so many discovery's in the last 100 years to prove itself is beyond me. The dead see scrolls alone should awaken you to at least consider the Bible to be true. The book of Isaiah found in those caves has so many prophecies of Jesus in it that it could be placed in the new Testament and would line right up with the rest of the new testament. The Virgin birth of Jesus is prophesied in Isaiah chapter 7. Would you please do something for me and look up in the NT in the book of the Gospel of John 8:44. This verse is about the devil and his lies. The Bible says that the devil as a roaring lion walks about the earth seeking whom he may devour. Jesus says he was a liar from the beginning and the father of it... The Bible is true, why do you think Jerusalem is the vocal point of the middle east. The nation of Isreal is about the size of Rhode Island yet the whole world revolves around it. Jesus gives you the choice to serve him or not. Please think about it. And have a Great Christmas!!!

When they start talking about the birth of Mithras during Mass on December 25, I will call the holiday, "Mithrasmas".
You are free to call that day whatever you like

My belief that Christmas is not a Christian holiday notwithstanding, I don't believe this Mithras crap.
December 25 is a Gregorian date. How could Mithra's birthday existed before the calendar? Or was it just "3 days after solstice".
You're full of crap.
